Sleepy Baby

Is it normal for young JCP's to sleep the day away? I've just gotten her about 3 days ago but she's never slept all day. Is it anything I should be worried about?

as my Drill Sergeant used to say "There's no such thing as a stupid question but you just blew the hell out of that theory" lol jk. actually, the reason you see him sleeping all day is because snakes are nocturnal. and if you just fed him then of course he is going to be asleep because he is digesting that big meal you just gave him.

hehe... I feel like an idiot. She's my first snake ever and I just want to make sure that she's ok. It just didn't seem normal for her. She really is kinda active during the day. Even today she was looking at me and moving around. And it just turned noon too. But I guess I was just a little over worried.

hehe.. ohh well...
